Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in South Street
What counts as a storm depends on your policy, though many use gusts of about 55 mph. Check your own policy wording. We do not decide whether a storm met that test. We record the damage and what seems to have caused it. The report includes photos of each area of damage, and you decide what to send. Insurers decide claims on their own policy wording. Common reasons to book are slates and tiles blown off the roof and holes or cracks caused by debris, across chimney stacks, slate and tile slopes and flashings.
In converted houses and blocks across London, water from a roof can run a long way before it shows on a ceiling, sometimes in a different flat from the one below the defect. Tracing it back matters, both for dealing with the cause and for any insurance claim. In South Street, we inspect what we can reach safely and are given access to. It is useful to know when the water appears and in what weather.
What you get is a clear record of the roof on the day we saw it. It is useful straight away, and a good reference for later.

How it works
The visit usually starts outside and finishes in the loft: outside views come first, then the roof space if there’s safe access. All told, expect roughly 1–2 hours for a house; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. In converted houses and mansion blocks, the loft hatch is often on a shared landing. Where that is the case, access needs agreeing with whoever controls that landing. Everything else is planned around the building, not the postcode.
- You tell us when the storm was and what damage you’ve seen.
- The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows and from the roof space where it is safe.
- We photograph and record every area of damage we can see.
- We note the likely cause, including any signs of wear that were there before the storm.
- We send you a written report with photos, ready to give to your insurer.
How to prepare
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Let us know about parking near the property
- Check the loft hatch can be reached

South Street roofs and the weather
The wider area around South Street has a long history of building, with Titsey Place about 2.1 miles south-west. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. In outer London, interwar semis with hipped, tiled roofs sit alongside older slate-roofed terraces. If your home in South Street is one of them, bay roofs, hips and later dormers each have their own details. Different coverings let water in at different points, which shapes where the search starts.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary the Virgin, water on an older roof tends to find its way in at the lead, the valleys or the chimney. Parking in South Street, as in most of London, takes a little planning: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway when booking. Landlords with a home close to Oxted station may find that a clear finding on where water gets in helps you brief a roofer straight away.
South Street is about 4 miles north-east of Oxted, in Greater London. Wherever you are in South Street, we can carry out storm damage roof reports at your property, on a weekday, Saturday or Sunday. Our Greater London coverage includes South Street. For surveys nearby, see our London page.

South Street: your questions answered
Do you cover South Street?
We do. The survey and report are the same in South Street as anywhere else.
Will parking be an issue for a roof survey in South Street?
Sometimes, yes. If South Street has controlled parking where you are, a visitor permit is the easiest answer.
Who handles emergency protection after a storm?
Emergency cover over a damaged roof should be arranged with a roofer. Take photos from the ground first if it’s safe. Keep receipts in case your insurer asks for them.
What if my insurer declines the claim?
Complain to your insurer first. After that, the Financial Ombudsman Service may be able to look at it. An independent report can add to your evidence, but we cannot say how it will turn out.
How long is the visit?
Most surveys take about 1–2 hours for a house, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. The report follows by email.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: Monday to Friday, Saturdays and Sundays. Tell us which days suit you as you book.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, as long as access is agreed. The roof of a block or converted house is often shared, so we need permission from whoever owns or manages the building. We inspect only the parts we are allowed to reach.
Can I check my roof myself?
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Take a photo and write down when you saw it.
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from ground level or a window. Water spilling over the edge can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
Landlord and commercial surveys in South Street
Buyers’ agents can book surveys on behalf of their clients. The report is emailed, so it can go straight to your client.
A roof problem in a let property affects your tenants as well as the building. A survey helps you spot issues early and plan the work with less disruption.
What we look for on each type of roof
Slate roofs
Slates often outlast the nails that hold them. The report records whether slipped slates look like storm damage or older wear.
Lead flashings
Flashings with older defects often fail in high winds. Our report separates fresh damage from older wear where we can.
